Letters From Afar



I was reading about Flower Letters where you can receive letters like magazine subscriptions and live inside a Jane Austen novel or Bridgeton TV series. The bi-weekly letters come in the mail with stickers, drawings and so on. 

I found another similar subscription service that delivers internationally Letters from Afar that follows my 'friend' Isabelle on her overseas adventures. I will receive monthly letters about a foreign country, complete with maps and fun facts. 



Each illustrated letter hides mini symbols for you to find, like the lucky cats in the Tokyo letter. I actually look forward to these letters even though its not good value like a magazine or newspaper. Just feels more heartfelt and personal.

Health Matters




Switched to Yu Yee oil recently after receiving it as gifts before. Its a red oil that smells of nutmeg, pleasantly aromatic. With the burn and pain relief of regular medicated oils. The tin can packaging is great for gifting, I feel bad about throwing it away.



Changing my food choices to better quality rice or noodles, getting tired of can soup and instant noodles already. Why not porridge or salads & sandwiches in place of biscuits and can meat? Still cannot live without soft drinks.

One month of medication looks like this. Usually its 1 or 2 packs from different brands, this is the most I've purchased so far. This brand of painkillers include appetite stimulants that I need coz no mood to eat anything at all. No food = no energy, how to survive and be OK?

Annabella Patisserie / Blossom Jewelry



Annabella Patisserie mini cake and macaroons order! Under $100 with free canvas totes and the cutest greeting card. I think mini cakes are perfect for my family size now.



Delicious perfume-y rose lychee vanilla cake with macaroons for you to decorate it with. They have novelty macaroons that I didn't buy. I bought a box of plain 24 + 3 + 6, not a macaroon tower yet, maybe in the future coz those macaroons are really good.



Real flowers captured in lacquer forever, this accessories website delivers free with minimum purchase. Loving the variety of real flowers available like hydrangea, lilacs, bellflowers. Really delicate jewelry using wire wrapping techniques. 


 I actually bought two pairs of earrings like this before at handicraft fairs, dried flower arrangements in resin. These are on another level. The hairpin is wound with fabric not wire so it sits in the hair comfortably, have to wear it with dark hair so you can not see the fabric.

Designer Scrunchies


Designer branded scrunchies to sell and to gift. These are all the websites that deliver locally and have it stocked. Mostly kids stuff, smaller and also cheaper. The items I want are already sold out like the oversized LV fur pompom hair tie.

Nice packaging, looks giftwrapped. Even comes with notecards and booklet. 



Toys'r'us, I keep coming back here for great gifts @ great prices with my star member card. The new Crayola scribble scrubbie pet shop, tattoo your pets then wash it off. There is a spray paint your pet version with bigger soft toys that I didn't get.
